That one memorable drive by 'our Nige'
Nigel Mansell overcame an untimely pit-stop and a 29-second gap to overhaul team mate Nelson Piquet and win the British GP on this day in 1987. It was a memorable drive by 'our Nige'. His Williams hampered by a massive vibration, Mansell pitted and rejoined proceedings with 28 of the 65 laps left and 29 seconds behind Piquet. But a ferocious determination coupled with a roaring crowd - which he could just about hear above his howling engine - had him reeling in the Brazilian lap after lap. When he caught up, Mansell executed a bold move through Stowe which sent the crowd into raptures and the Brit on to his tenth career win in F1.
